🎯 What this assignment is
You are the facilitator (leader of discussion).
Your job is to:
- guide the conversation
- ask good questions
- stay neutral (no bias)
- make everyone talk
- summarize at the end
✅ How to get FULL POINTS (Rubric Explained)
🟢 1. Clear Introduction (2 pts)
What to do:
Start clearly and confidently.
What to say (use this 👇)
“Hello everyone, today we will be discussing a difficult topic related to [your topic]. The goal is to share ideas, listen respectfully, and understand different perspectives. There are no right or wrong answers, and everyone’s opinion is important.”
👉 This gives you FULL POINTS for introduction
🟢 2. Quality of Questions (2 pts)
You need to ask open-ended questions (NOT yes/no).
Good questions examples:
- “What are your thoughts about this topic?”
- “Why do you think this issue is important today?”
- “How does this topic affect people in real life?”
- “Can you share a personal experience or example?”
- “What are different viewpoints on this issue?”
👉 Ask at least 3–5 questions
🟢 3. Unbiased (2 pts)
What this means:
- Do NOT judge people
- Do NOT say “this is right or wrong”
- Stay neutral
What to say:
- “That’s an interesting perspective.”
- “Thank you for sharing.”
- “I see your point.”
❌ Avoid:
- “That’s wrong”
- “I disagree”
👉 You are a facilitator, not a debater
🟢 4. Make Sure Everyone Is Engaged (2 pts)
What to do:
Invite quiet people to speak
What to say:
- “Would anyone else like to share?”
- “What do you think about this?”
- “We haven’t heard from you yet, would you like to add something?”
👉 This is VERY important for full points

👉 I can:
🎤 Your Customized Topic
Topic:
Mental Health and Stress in Students and Healthcare Workers
👉 This is a GREAT “difficult dialogue” topic because:
people have different opinions
it is sensitive
it connects to your life (school + hospital work)
🟢 FULL SCRIPT (JUST FOLLOW THIS)
🔹 1. INTRODUCTION (Say this)
“Hello everyone. Today we will discuss mental health and stress in students and healthcare workers. This topic is important because many people experience stress but may not talk about it openly. The goal is to share ideas and understand different perspectives. There are no right or wrong answers, so please feel comfortable sharing your thoughts respectfully.”
🔵 2. QUESTIONS (Ask these)
Start:
“What are your thoughts about stress in school or work?”
Then:
“Why do you think mental health is an important issue today?”
“How does stress affect people in real life?”
“Do you think people talk openly about mental health? Why or why not?”
“What are some ways people deal with stress?”
👉 Ask at least 3–5 questions (you already have 5 👍)
🟡 3. RESPOND (Stay Neutral)
When people answer, say:
“Thank you for sharing.”
“That’s a good point.”
“I understand your perspective.”
“That’s interesting.”
👉 DO NOT argue or judge
🟣 4. ENGAGE EVERYONE
If someone is quiet, say:
“Would anyone else like to share?”
“What do you think?”
“We haven’t heard from you yet, would you like to add something?”
👉 This is VERY important for full points
🔴 5. SUMMARY (Say this at the end)
“Today we discussed different perspectives on mental health and stress. Some people shared that stress comes from school or work, while others talked about personal experiences. We also discussed how stress affects people and different ways to manage it. This conversation helped us understand that mental health is important and affects everyone differently. Thank you everyone for sharing.”
